Alton Towers Resort unveiled the world’s first 14 loop rollercoaster, The Smiler back in May. The official Guinness World Record for the most loops in a coaster has officially been broken by the Staffordshire theme park, smashing the previous record of 10.

The Smiler, which is Alton Towers Resort’s biggest ever investment at £18m, took over eight months to build and the secret world first element has been kept under wraps since construction began back in September. Not for the faint hearted, the marmalising rollercoaster features a series of twisted psychological effects including optical illusions, blinding lights and jabbing needles designed to mess with your mind.

To mark the announcement, The Smiler’s heart-stopping 14 loops were revealed with a spectacular display of lights, which brought the coaster to ‘life’. The sheer size of The Smiler, which is the equivalent of ten football pitches of ride-track, dominates the X-Sector area of the Resort.

Visitors can experience The Smiler’s 14 record-breaking loops and all its twisted psychological effects right now. For more information visit www.the-smiler.com.
